Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard Lu Yong's words. It seemed that no one had thought about this issue seriously.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that what Lu Yong said makes sense.
The Yanhuang civilization now spans the entire galaxy, and the number of civilizations it touches is measured in billions.
But among them, the vast majority of civilizations are level 1 civilizations, that is, civilizations that are still limited to their home stars. These civilizations have a very low level of development and cannot even leave their home stars.
Most level 1 civilizations are simply unable to develop into level 2 civilizations and will perish before leaving their home planet.
There are many factors for extinction, the most common of which are the drastic changes in the environment of the home planet that lead to the extinction of civilization, such as the sudden entry into the extremely cold Ice Age, leading to the mass extinction of life on the planet, or a super earthquake or the eruption of a large volcano
, or it may be a huge meteorite from outer space, an asteroid impact, etc.
Sometimes terrible infectious diseases appear on the planet and may lead to the extinction of civilization.
In short, at the stage of level 1 civilization, civilization is extremely fragile, and it often perishes before it can break through to level 2 civilization.
The vast majority of civilizations in the Milky Way perished in this way. In the long history of the Milky Way, which is tens of billions of years, there are countless civilizations born in the Milky Way. More than 99.99999999% of them have perished when they were still the civilizations of their home stars.
Especially based on scientists' research on the early history of the Milky Way and archaeological research on a large number of life planets in the center of the Milky Way.
In the long history of the early Milky Way, which lasted for tens of billions of years, the Milky Way actually gave birth to countless civilizations. However, due to the instability within the Milky Way, the fluctuations were very large, so there were many great prosperity and mass extinctions of civilizations.
This has many similarities with the history of the earth.
There have been several mass extinctions and several great biological booms in the history of the earth, such as the late Devonian mass extinction, the Ordovician mass extinction, the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, etc.
The earth has experienced five mass extinctions of life. During this process, there may have been intelligent races on the earth, but they did not break through to a more advanced civilization and eventually perished with the mass extinction of life.
The entire Milky Way is similar, based on the research of Yanhuang Civilization's own scientists and relevant research data obtained from the six major civilizations.
In the long history of more than 10 billion years, the Milky Way has experienced about 8 great prosperity and mass extinction of civilizations.
It is different from the mass extinction of life on a living planet.
One reason recognized by scientists of six level three cosmic civilizations for the great biological prosperity and mass extinction in the Milky Way is that it is related to the black hole at the core of the Milky Way, involving the life energy that is related to the prosperity of life in the Milky Way.
Regarding long-term research on black holes, scientists have also found that black holes have regular frequency changes, and that black holes are related to the plunder and occupation of life energy.
When the black hole absorbs a lot of life energy, there will be a mass extinction of civilizations in the Milky Way. When it absorbs less life energy, the civilization in the Milky Way will prosper.
In addition, it is also closely related to the fluctuations of the universe.
The current Milky Way is relatively stable, and the fluctuations in space have not changed much, but this is not static.
Just like on a living planet, major earthquakes will occasionally occur.
The entire vast Milky Way will occasionally experience powerful space fluctuations, and the power of space fluctuations is so huge that it can pose a huge threat and damage to life in the Milky Way and cause the mass extinction of civilization.
If analyzed from these aspects, the cage mentioned by Lu Yong is actually very correct.
Perhaps the entire universe is a huge cage, in which all civilizations and life are imprisoned, and they can never escape from its shackles and imprisonment.
"What you said is really reasonable and vivid. This universe really seems to be a huge cage."
"It's just that no one knows what it is that can imprison a more advanced civilization and a more powerful civilization?"
Liu Yuan sighed after thinking about it.
I got a civilization that claimed to be a god, and the inheritance of a god's civilization. However, even a civilization that was so powerful that it thought it was a god's civilization still perished.
You must know that the civilization of God is a great civilization that has mastered all space technology, while the Yanhuang civilization has only started to get started with space technology and has mastered a little bit of it.
But even such a great civilization, a powerful civilization, a civilization that spanned the universe, still perished.
As for small players like the Yanhuang civilization, I don’t know how many there are in the entire universe, and I don’t know how many have perished.
Do they, the pinnacle civilization in the universe, also have their own sorrows?
Are they also subject to certain limitations and constraints of the universe?
How big is the universe, and what is it like outside the universe? Are there other worlds?
Sometimes when I think about it, there are actually many, many problems that are bothering us, making it impossible for us to know everything.
This may also be the root of the emergence of religion, because intelligent creatures always think about these things, and when they can't figure it out, they use religion to explain everything.
It was a certain god who created the universe, the world, and all things, so that all confusions can be rationally explained.
Liu Yuan shook his head. The road of Yanhuang civilization is still long. There are still too many challenges in the future.
The current step is the first step for the Yanhuang civilization to move towards the vast deep space universe. No one knows what lies ahead, but they still have to keep going.
Only by keeping going and getting stronger can you eventually reach the top.
In the area between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way, as the void stabilized section after section, unmanned spacecrafts continued to fly towards the Andromeda Galaxy.
For safety reasons, no one was arranged to take the spaceship over from the beginning.
Anyway, artificial intelligence technology is now very advanced, and unmanned spacecraft are capable of doing all this.
"Passed the central area!"
After passing the central area, Bai Song shouted excitedly.
Everyone looked over again and looked forward to it even more.
The mutual interference of space fluctuations is really feasible. The Yanhuang civilization can definitely go to the Andromeda galaxy that I believe. This will be a great experiment and the first step for the Yanhuang civilization to move towards the deep space universe.
Section after section, 1000 light-years after 1000 light-years.
As the project continues, it is getting closer and closer to the Andromeda Galaxy.
"We are only 1 million light-years away from the Andromeda Galaxy, and the fluctuations in space are starting to become smaller."
"We are only 500,000 light-years away from the Andromeda Galaxy, and the fluctuations in space have become even smaller."
"100,000 light-years away from the outer reaches of the Andromeda Galaxy, space has become relatively stable and the warp drive is effective again."
"Arrived at the outskirts of the Andromeda Galaxy, space is stable!"
Time was slowly passing by, and the construction of the Magpie Bridge was gradually completed. Finally, when the announcement of arriving in the Andromeda Galaxy sounded, the entire hall burst into warm applause.
Travel to the nearest star system.
It is countless times more difficult than the first time humans landed on the moon.
This is the first step for mankind to set foot in the deep space universe, and the first step for the Yanhuang civilization to become a star-level civilization.
This is a great moment, a great moment that will be remembered in history.
There are countless civilizations born in the Milky Way. The Yanhuang civilization was the first civilization to step out of the Milky Way!
Although third-level civilizations such as the Orissa Civilization and the Persian Empire have a long history, they have never been able to go out of the Milky Way and have always been limited to the Milky Way.
Now the Yanhuang civilization has done it and has become the first great civilization to step out of the Milky Way.
The overwhelming applause lasted for a long time, one after another.
For scientists of the Yanhuang civilization, this moment has great significance and is a great moment.
This is the result of the development of science and technology and civilization of the Yanhuang civilization, and is the beginning of the Yanhuang civilization becoming a great civilization at the star level.
It has too many, too many meanings.
Even Liu Yuan kept applauding with a smile on his face, sending congratulations to his great civilization.
For the Yanhuang civilization, the prison of the Milky Way can no longer trap the Yanhuang civilization. From now on, the Yanhuang civilization will gallop into a wider and deeper universe and become a great civilization at the star level.
PS: This world is just a big cage, we are all prisoners~
